How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500X

Learn how to equip your car with universal roof bars. Universal roof bars are used on cars with and without roof rails (fixed bars secured to the car roof). Install the roof bar kit as shown in the video with the bars calibrated according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the bolts with the butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Finally, apply the safety caps on your Fiat.
